   The drinks are very watered down. Their take on a cosmo was blood red. Most of us ordered some extra shots to add to our drinks. They also were running out of various ingredients and glasses. The place was pretty and our server was great, but definitely not worth the $57/person before taxes/gratuity.

   Great time! It’s decorated nicely with a great vibe. Staff were friendly. Drinks were very good, food quality was just okay. Fair amount of food and drinks for the price- ($150 tax and gratuity included) but the food was for sure mid quality.

   Do not waste your money! This is for social media photos only. Cocktails aren’t great, takes 30 minutes to get a drink, the management was rude. Not a good experience at all.

   It was freezing cold in the restaurant I dont think the heater was working, the service was horrible and the drinks and food were subpar at best. Not worth $150 at alllllll.

   I enjoyed the atmosphere, and the service and drinks were fine, but the food was disappointing. Overall, I thought it was too expensive for what it was.

   I’ve frequented the Blind Pig and their seasonal themes over the last couple years. This recent time was by far the most disappointing. Reservation was for 9, party was not seated until 9:20. After waiting 10 minutes for our server, we were told that the kitchen was closing in 15 minutes. After ordering food and the first round, service from our waiter was not the best. The bar closed shortly after the kitchen, and at that point we were unable to order our second cocktail. They offered one of their shots, but given the price difference/value of the two, it doesn’t really compare. Apparently shots count as one of the included “cocktails” that you pay for when booking a reservation. They raised all the lights and cut the house music around 10:15, and at that point we weren’t even halfway through our two hour time slot. It was apparent the staff was starting their closing duties, and the ambience the space normally offers was done with so we did not get to enjoy the full experience for the time allotted for our reservation. I’ll keep this in mind when booking a later reservation for the future and recommending this place to friends, the experience is just limited and cut short for those looking to book a later time slot.

    Such a fun night out with friends! Decor was on point, everything food, drinks… all so festive! Our two hour window flew by! Would highly recommend for a fun night out with friends or a date! We are hoping to find somewhere just as cute and fun for Valentine’s Day!
